True, but it wasn't exactly candy floss, either... Actually, I was quite shocked at how harsh an appraisal it was in places - first it features John Lahr basically saying that Hope might as well have died 30 years ago for all achieved by sticking around, and then the last clip is of Hope getting debris chucked at him onstage by hecklers... eek!
By far the most interesting obit any of the networks ran, but it seemed almost indecently soon to be dissecting its subject quite so thoroughly.

It must have been a very poor news day today. I was surprised to see Channel 4 News leading with Bob Hope today. It's not very often they lead with a showbiz story.
